The government of France has announced to initiate a “climate energy contribution”. The new plans will fall within the framework of finance bill 2014.
The Government is expected to put forward further environmental tax initiatives in its finance bill. The French Government intends to abolish certain tax breaks that are considered to be detrimental to the environmental policy. It is examining the idea of progressively aligning the taxation of diesel and petrol and of imposing a tax on refrigerants.
